i think we've been drawing from the same well for too long in terms of the people who are in washington. >> david brooks, is this a center right country or a center left country? >> i think demonstrably a center right country. just do the polling. the pew research center asked people where are you on a scale from 0 to 5, 0 being conservative, 5 being liberal. they're about a 2/3 or 2/2. so they e themselves as center right. they're suspicious of government but they think government should give them a helping hand with pell grants. if i could give advice to the republican party assuming they're going to be in tough shape it's get over the argument that the argument is about big government versus small government. it's not about that. it's about what kind of country are we and there are certain government programs that promote ambition that promote aspirations. there are certain programs that decrease those things. but just to make it an argument of big government versus little government means you'll lose, a lot of people in the lower middle-class you will lose the new immigrant groups a

>> i'm not actually sure it's in washington. i think it's from a deeper cultural problem. i'm struck by in this election now it was possible to lie without any negative consequences for both parties. that's a national problem. people weren't willing to punish candidates on their own side for lying we have to have a different attitude toward death as far as taxes, you have to be willing to pay for the government you want and the american people are not right now. so while i agree all the innovation is going on around the country, america is still america, we're still alexis detoqueville's country, we have a great higher education system, i still think there are certain cultural problems with the country that we haven't faced. one of them meacham mentioned -- jon mentioned the word followership. we've become much too cynical about government. people in the 1920s,1930s, 1880s were not confronted with magical great government but they had faith in it. now we think we're better than whoever it is that happens to be governing us. >> i want to pick up something david says. i don'

for more about this, i'm joined from washington by christina bellantoni. as most of you know, she is the politics editor of the pbs newshour. so christina, most experts basically think that the house is going to stay republican so let's talk a little bit about the senate. how consequential is this election when it comes to the senate? >> well, it's really important to keep in mind that it's already fairly narrowly divided and when you game out all of the different competitive elections, democrats playing more defense than they are offense and that's in part because they one so many seats in 2006. so chances are that the democrats are going to have a slimmer majority in 2013 and the republicans are going to be able to flip a handful of seats somewhere between two and five, but the democrats may flip a few seats. so in the end you're probably going to have a very narrowly divided senate that could make things difficult for whoever the next president is. >> ok, and so let's talk a little bit about policy. what are some of the issues and why is the senate so c
